Inside My Head - My 2nd 50

In my 5+ years here, I have brought The Philotic Knight to level 50 at LEAST 4 times, possibly more that I forgot:

• On Justice - my first server, brought him to 50 in about a year then got bored with HAVING a level 50 so I transferred him over to Test, deleted him and remade him as level 1 on Freedom. Which brings me to....
• Freedom - at lest to 50 once here, perhaps twice, I don't remember if I did the delete job on him on this server, I might have, then I was drawn over to....
• Protector - The Little Server That Could invited me over, brought PK to 50 there, and then voted me off the island. However, after four years on Freedom, Protector DID remind me of the joys of living on a "low population" server, which led me back to...
• Justice again - back to "home sweet home", but this time I had other plans.....

Westley stole my name to become my newest avatar and drew inspiration from my anti-heroes: bikers, John Constantine, and Chakan the Forever Man. His basic bio steals much from those sources:

Thus he stole his "history" from Chakan, his attitude and training from Constantine, and his dress from my love of biker culture, mixed with some magic by way of the Magic Pack's costumes.

PK was an FF/Elec Defender, who focused purely on team's defense and protection by nature. I wanted an opposite to that, so I picked pure offense and survivability, Fire/Regen Scrapper. He originally started as a Fire/WP Tanker, but playing a tanker made me play like a Defender, focusing on keeping the team alive. After about 30 levels of this, it just wasn't a different enough feel, so I remade him as a Fire/Regen scrapper, both for concept reasons Regen made more sense than Willpower, and for gameplay reasons being a Scrapper helped me to disassociate myself from my Defender heritage and play AS a damage dealer.

So anyways, I am really proud that today, at 8:15 PM Mountain time, I finally after 5 years got a level 50 that was NOT The Philotic Knight. And for me, that's a big deal and was a huge mental hurdle, especially to disassociate myself from the PK character's identity for long enough to play another character to 50.

Unfortunately I was too slow to catch the level up animation, but here is my "victory screenshot":

So that's that, a bit of a vanity post, I just felt the need to get that short story about my latest in-game endeavor out there. Let the flames and jokes commence!

Grats! Welcome to Scrappers. may the altitis commence!

Next I'm thinking of giving Warshades a serious try... I got one up to level 35 before and loved it, but I think I'd rather start over again rather than pick up that one after so many months.

Yeah, I think that the Warshade will definitely be my next project, right after I take this guy over to the Storm Palace and see how well he does solo vs. the Ring of Death....

I'd love to know what you're planning for your Warshade and think that with the amount of care you invest in your characters, you could grow a very nice TriFormShade™ from Lv1 to Lv50 with ease!

I hear a lot of Magic Origin heroes are starting to seek Azuria's counsel to be set on the right path now that her book The Lost Teachings of Azuria has finally been published.

I've heard rumors that another 2 volumes are supposedly forthcoming.
